This is just random little things I've wanted to blog about. Today was the first day of classes! Of my senior year! If all goes as planned, I will be graduating on time. Exciting, yet terrifying. I am really nervous about life after college. When Igraduated high school, it felt like you spent the rest of your life in college. Not so. Not that I'd want to anyway. When people ask me what I'm going to do with my English degree, I tell them I have no idea. It kind of makes me feel like I'm going nowhere in life. Which kind of leads into my next thing. I have an idea of what I want to do, it's just not something most people would understand or find as a "successful career." I mean, how do you explain that to people who live in a secular world and have adopted secular beliefs?It's been on my heart for awhile to do something with women's ministries in like Cambodia, or Mexico.
Today, in my History 381 class (A History of Human Trafficking), we watched a movie about girls who are taken from like China, Russia, Czech Republic, etc and brought to NYC to be forced into the sex slave trade. It was so sad. It was hard for me to not cry. My heart was hurting for the girls. And to realize that it is a real life huge problem, especially here in the U.S. where it's supposed to be land of the free. Not always true unfortunately. I think this lass is going to really affect my decision to work in women's ministry. One problem I have though is how to get from A to B. How do I go from being a college student to being a spot of hope for women in other countries?
Seeing as classes have started, I'm kind of worried that I'm never going to see my housemates, because of all our different, crazy schedules. And then I'm also afraid I'm not going to get to see on-campus people very often, because of their schedules as well. I don't know. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Here's to a new semester. Bombs away.
